Yup, thanks for the hint, that's exactly what I was looking for.

I still have a slight problem with the current fcgi library and ruby1.8:

The cgi object generated with 

  each_cgi { |cgi|  

is of class CGI, but this is not the same as the common CGI 
class, so it does not provide functions like .h1 or .html

Is this a bug or intentional?
